April 1970 is more likely to be green.

They were also painting engines black, but green A series engines were still being built in 1972.

Hi

Thanks for the answer.

When did they British leyland sticker appear on the rocker cover.

I presume that a car that has an austin badge on the bootlid, would have a austin sticker on the rocker cover, but will these cars also have a british leyland sticker on the rocker cover ?
